We did have that conversation and I prefer Hemingway. His economy with words is impressive.

I have no problem with F. Scot Fitzgerald but I love knocking down a Hemingway novel in a weekend and being left floored.

I think I've read a couple Tom Dorsey's Serge Storms novels since I last posted here but if you don't have an old Florida connection you might not get them.

I've hauled another of Ludlum's Jason Bourne novels several thousand miles in the past couple months but I haven't cracked it yet.
